MGB Bumper removal

[Bob Claffie]

Anticipating painting the RB derelict over the winter. Therefore I should take off the bumpers
On the rear bumper I have found the two nuts on the ends of the bumper, two bolts accessed from inside the trunk
and two bolts reached from underneath the car.

Are all these actually holding the bumper on ?
And are there others I just haven't found yet ?

Once I have this one under control I'll be back for info on the front bumper; Thanks, Bob

That's it! Remove those and the bumper will come right off.

As for the front, the bolts holding it are obvious when you look where it attaches to the frame.
A couple of cautions:
-Don't forget to unhook the parking lamps before you drop the bumper (yes, I forgot that once).
-Note the position and number of shims so you can put them back as they are now. That'll keep your bumper properly aligned with the body.
-It's probably heaving than you think due to the steel armature that supports it.

Are you painting the bumpers too? If so, I've used the rattle can Duplicolor bumper paint you can find at the local parts store. It makes the look new if yours are dull and faded...
